“Grief is a demanding companion,” Sandberg writes. “In those early days and weeks and months, it was always there, not just below the surface but on the surface.”

Grieving a loss often feels unbearable, and yet there comes a time when we need to return to our routines and work.

Grieving is a natural human experience, but it is extremely personal and can be complicated by not feeling safe to grieve in a public + professional environment.

For something that feels so uncomfortable, grief will affect all of us at one point of our lives, however grief support + awareness is often overlooked in the workplace.

Co-workers are often at a loss as how to react around grief, but also how to support their peers.
